Fridays sigh...

I used to have a fondness for Friday afternoons. It was not that long ago either. I would be working away, glance at the clock every 5 or 10 minutes, waiting for Home time. I loved that feeling, knowing I had worked all week and was looking forward to having a glass of wine with my partner. Don’t get me wrong come Saturday afternoon, I was bored and dreading that Sunday blues I get…

Now however, everyday is the same, day in and day out. Although I should say I used to have a PS3, two large flat screen TVs and a fancy PC to play games on, which helped relieve the boredom. Plus I could also have an occasional glass of wine. Now I am avoiding alcohol for a couple of reason, one being I seriously can’t afford to buy the stuff. I mean I have to ask myself, why spend £5 on a bottle of wine when that could pay a quarter of my fare to see my children. Which by the way I can’t afford again this week. The 2nd reason I don’t like to drink as much, is the fact it makes me sick. I mean really sick… I can be rough for days as I have grown older from just a couple glasses of wine.

Wage-theft reports on the rise | North America United States from AllBusiness.com

I have previous mentioned wage theift, but i keep coming across these articles which are interesting to say the least... this one discusses the raise in the issue in the last 3 years "Immigrants, both legal and illegal, also are frequent victims of wage theft because disreputable employers figure they are less likely to complain, especially if they speak little English or are here illegally. All workers, including illegal immigrants, are entitled under the law to be paid for the work they do."

Homeowners 'may require self storage to accommodate lodgers'

Well, as you will all be aware, things have been pretty tight for us since June... It appears everyone is feeling the pinch... I came across an interesting article from Safe Store.. I realize it is a British article, but I get the feeling that it maybe of interest to others "It seems that homeowners across the UK may be placing some of their belongings into storage in order to make room for lodgers.

Research published earlier this week by Halifax revealed that the number of homeowners choosing to rent out their spare rooms is on the rise."

Figures released by the organisation show that lodger numbers in Britain have risen by 23 per cent since 2006.Homeowners 'may require self storage to accommodate lodgers'
